Seventh Heaven for Burgess

Against Mike Collins in a match-up of the two players relegated from Grey Goose last season, Max won the opening five frames on route to winning 7-2.

And he won the opening seven frames against league newcomer Trevor Gunn as he took his second match by the 7-2 scoreline.

The results see Max move two points clear above last week's leader Mark Tumilty who didn't play this week, with Mike four points off top spot in third place but having played one match more than the pair above him.
